Clark Gable and Carole Lombard began their love affair in the mid-1930s but their relationship was kept a secret as Gable was still married to his second wife, Ria. Gable was finally divorced from Ria on March 7, 1939, and on March 29, 1939, Gable and Lombard were married.
Photographs of Gable wearing this bracelet engraved from Lombard bear witness to the length of their love affair as he is seen wearing this bracelet as early as 1934.
